The Release of Fear
February 27, 2018
Take courage! It is I. Dont be afraid.
Mark 6:50
Our bodies react to our feelings of dread and fear. A weight in the pit of our stomachs, along with our hearts pounding as we gulp for breath, signal our sense of anxiety. Our physical nature keeps us from ignoring these feelings of unease.
The disciples felt shockwaves of fear one night after Jesus had performed the miracle of feeding more than five thousand people. The Lord had sent them ahead to Bethsaida so He could be alone to pray. During the night, they were rowing against the wind when suddenly they saw Him walking on the water. Thinking He was a ghost, they were terrified (Mark 6:4950).
But Jesus reassured them, telling them not to be afraid and to take courage. As He entered their vessel, the wind died down and they made it to the shore. I imagine that their feelings of dread calmed as they embraced the peace He bestowed.
When were feeling breathless with anxiety, we can rest assured in Jesuss power. Whether He calms our waves or strengthens us to face them, He will give us the gift of His peace that transcends all understanding (Philippians 4:7). And as He releases us from our fears, our spirits and our bodies can return to a state of rest.
Lord Jesus Christ, help me when the dread seems to cling to me. Release me from my fears and give me Your peace.
The Lord releases us from fear.
When we read todays story, we may wonder why these sturdy fishermen would be afraid of a ghost (Mark 6:49). But put yourself in their shoes. The disciples did see someone walking on the waterand they knew that was not possible. We may not fear the same things they feared, but we all have fears. Just like the disciples, we need the assurance of Jesuss words: Take courage! It is I. Dont be afraid (v. 50). The Lord who fed the multitude with a few loaves and fishes is the same one who walked on water. The disciples did not need to fear because they knew who Jesus was and what He could do. Jesus was essentially saying, Dont be afraid! You know me.
What are you afraid of today? What do you need to remember about Jesus that can help you trust Him?

Good evening, Mayor, and thank you for today’s sustenance for body and soul.
Hope you had a good Monday. Mine has been slammed and it has been snowing to beat the band. Getting home is going to be dicey.

It was 45 degrees today and penny and i went for a hike in the woods for the first time in WEEKS! The streams were all swollen and rushing with meltwater, and the paths were a little muddy, but it was positively glorious!

How exciting that you got to hike in the woods. You’ve almost made it through February! Are Penny’s feet clean and dry now?
It is snowing like crazy here. Accidents galore, and 11 at the same place on the highway and it is closed. I don’t use the highway (freeway) in the dark or in winter.
Hopefully by the time I leave here on my side roads, most of the crazies will gone.

Howdy, Kathy.
Perchance are things going well today? Or are they throwing monkey wrenches at y’all as usual?
Looks pretty wild outside up there this evening but hey, you’ve been clammering for snow! LOL
